I’ve rated PRI-G 7 out of 10 and Star Tron 9 Out of 10. So clearly Star Tron is the winner here, but on which basis?
In this article, I’ve explained the comparison between PRI-G vs Star Tron. So keep on reading
What is PRI-G?
PRI-G is a fuel stabilizer that keeps gasoline fresh for longer periods. It also helps improve fuel economy, reduces emissions, and prevents engine deposits. PRI-G is suitable for use in all gasoline engines, including two-stroke and four-stroke engines. It is also compatible with all ethanol blends of gasoline.
What is Star Tron?
Star Tron is a multi-functional fuel additive that helps improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and prevent fuel-related issues such as clogged filters and injectors. It is suitable for use in all gasoline engines, including two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Star Tron is also compatible with all ethanol blends of gasoline.

Star Tron vs PRI-G: Detailed Overview
Now, I’ll explain a detailed comparison between Star Tron and PRI-G.
Fuel Type
The first feature to consider is the fuel type that the fuel additive is designed for. PRI-G is designed specifically for gasoline-powered vehicles, while Star Tron can be used with gasoline, diesel, and ethanol-blended fuels.
Formulation
PRI-G is formulated as a fuel stabilizer and combustion improver. It is designed to improve fuel quality by cleaning the fuel system and removing harmful deposits that clog fuel injectors and reduce engine performance.
Star Tron, on the other hand, is a multi-functional fuel additive that contains enzymes that break down and eliminate harmful deposits, lubricants that protect the fuel system from wear and tear, and a fuel stabilizer that helps to keep gasoline fresh and prevents the formation of gum and varnish.
Fuel-Related Issues
While Star Tron is effective at preventing fuel-related issues such as clogged filters and injectors, PRI-G does not offer this benefit.
When I am talking about fuel-related issues let me suggest you another article on – No power on Honda bf225 fuel pump.
Suitability
Both PRI-G and Star Tron are compatible with all ethanol blends of gasoline.
Suitable for Two-Stroke and Four-Stroke Engines: Both PRI-G and Star Tron are suitable for use in all gasoline engines, including two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
The Verdict
When comparing Pri G and Star Tron, it’s important to note that they are very different products. Pri-G uses a chemical basis, whereas Star Tron uses enzymes to disperse clumped water molecules which allow them to be eliminated while the engine operates. This is important because if the water content of E10 fuel exceeds 0.5%, phase separation can occur, leading to engine damage.
Star Tron also offers benefits beyond fuel stabilization, including the removal of carbon deposits and improved engine performance. By allowing the fuel to burn more completely, Star Tron eliminates new carbon deposits, leading to improved engine performance. This is especially important in E10 fuel, as ethanol produces about 70% of the energy of gasoline, which can lead to a decrease in power and range.
Additionally, Star Tron can stabilize gas for up to one year, making it a great option for boaters and sailors who may not use their boats frequently. Overall, while both Pri G and Star Tron offer benefits such as fuel stabilization, fuel economy improvement, emissions reduction, and prevention of engine deposits, Star Tron’s use of enzymes and additional benefits make it a strong contender for those looking for a comprehensive fuel additive for their boat or sail.
